There is a vast immeasurable and impassable sea of ignorance between an uninformed opinion based solely on a wish and a prayer and an educated best-guess based on rational theories with plausible mechanisms of action informed by the evidence as presented by our current ability and technology to measure. The former is for children, the latter for adults. Chronological age not withstanding.

Beautiful!

Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

Running along the bottom of each post, there are several options "like" "edit" "reply" and then there is a little square -->that is the "quote" option. Click it and then the next post you make anywhere will contain that entire post. Then just cut out the parts you don't need.
